Performed for Supervoid (Vena Cava), a virtual set mid-pandemic. The visuals were extremely improvised but I was surprised with how well they came out.
I designed Faited’s costume and rigging setup (she is performing this set at 10′, standing on a bar chair, draped with a black aerial silk, while her decks are on 2 spansets anchored to a board hanging from a single point). I wasn’t planning to do visuals because I was performing in the same show about an hour before, but once I had finished my set I realized I really wanted to embellish her performance.
All manipulation was done manually manipulating the zoom, aperture, focus, and obscuring the lens with my hands. I mirrored the capture in OBS, and OBS’s auto-processing responded with various levels of pixellation. I actually didn’t know Faited very well at this point and hadn’t informed her I was going to be doing visuals, so I started out rather conservative but by 30 minutes in, I was taking more liberties — thanks to the Twitch chat for the live affirmation 🙂
